You and me against the world

In the first half of the movie, I believe that all the audience are the same as me, squeezing a cold sweat over whether the mother and son can escape from birth, and when their plan is about to succeed, I also start to have a faint worry in my heart, Jack His outlook on life and world view is very narrow, even though his mother wants to ensure his physical health as much as possible (vitamins, let him exercise in a narrow space), but what about his psychology? His world is the distance from a shack to a skylight. When he walks out of the predicament, he sees the real birds in the blue sky, and sees all kinds of people, exposed to the bacteria in the air and the complexity of human nature. How can he survive? ? However, he never expected that even though Jack started to feel uncomfortable, as a child, he quickly learned everything, learned to contact and care for the grandparents he just met, learned to be strong and independent, and made friends of similar ages. Instead, the mother collapsed in the face of everything lost and recovered and the pressure of public opinion. Why? There is a plot I think is very well designed, that is, Joy is showing Jack a photo with her friends in her school days, and then you say you know what happened to them? Jack replied no, Joy looked terrified and said exactly that nothing happened to them, and then she had a dispute with her mother and even blamed her for what happened to her mother. On the interview show, she was hurt by the host’s questions and was speechless. , And finally attempted suicide by taking drugs. This clearly expresses her psychological process. Joy was just a young girl when she was deceived and imprisoned. From the swing behind her grandparents' house that she and Jack had been telling about, it can be seen that she grew up in a harmonious family environment. She is a good girl who is healthy and has no bad habits and is willing to help others. , May not even experience a true love heartbreak. When a person is suppressed in a room that is a few meters square, all she thinks about is how to escape, and when she really escapes, she begins to feel heartache for the seven years that she has lost. It is more than just a matter of nonsense, and her parents are no longer together. , My friends back then probably already have their own family business, and I'm just the most insignificant particle in the world, without her, the earth is still turning, others are still moving forward, living a life, only Myself, all the connections with this world were frozen seven years ago, out of place. And the only achievement in these seven years is to raise Jack who is dependent on himself, so when the host asks if you have ever thought of asking Old when Jack was born When Nick put him in the fire station or hospital to let him have a real childhood, this is the last straw that crushes the camel. The only meaning of her existence for seven years has also been denied. The meaning of her survival and life The values ​​inevitably collapsed. In the end, it was his son Jack who saved him. The son cut his long hair and integrated into the society, but he still retains the innocence of being dependent on his mother. I believe that in the end when mother and son returned to the room, it was a place where many people burst into tears. At first, I felt that the plot design was a bit awkward. Why should we go back to the place where we imprisoned ourselves? After watching it, I wanted to ask the screenwriter to take my knees. I think the last scene swept away the gloom, heartache and worries that the whole movie brought to the viewers. It suddenly became clear, and then I realized that the movie was not about how to escape. Go out, but how to reconcile with the heavy past, and finally continue to move forward with hope. Some people may think that the second half is too chicken soup, but I think that in the handling of mother-child relationship, I am still willing to drink this level of soft chicken soup. After all, I did not cry and call my mother love me again, but instead Gentle and romantic, reaching people's hearts. If there really exists a pair of mother and son like this in a certain corner of this world or in a certain parallel space of this universe, I wish to send my blessings, whether in a small room or in a big world, I hope you two will stay together. you and me agianst the world.
